Fuel up at our local-approved budget food spots in Hialeah.

This little Hialeah joint sells 25 croquetitas for $4.50 (what a steal!). This eatery has served chuletas, lechón asado, and, on the weekends, rabo encendido. It also serves a damn good arroz frito. -- Miami New Times via Foursquare

Family-owned Cuban cafeteria Morro Castle has been Hialeah's source for good, affordable bistec de palomilla, tostones, and moro. Leo Villalba prides himself in making everything from scratch. -- Miami New Times via Foursquare
